Meat run...

When we got home from the storage unit, Joan needed to stop at the grocery store. Well, except for meat - there is another smaller store on SPI that has better meat. I volunteered to make a "meat run." After getting a few things done around the house, I hopped on the Vespa and took off across the causeway... realizing that this will probably be my last ride for a while. The scoots will need to get set up in the cargo trailer and there is other stuff that needs to get done. It is 2 1/2 miles across the causeway, with the high point (around 70') that gives you a great overview of the Laguna Madre (our bay), South Padre Island, and the Gulf of Mexico. The water was gorgeous; some boat traffic out there, but not "weekend kinda" boating. The traffic on the island always builds on a Friday, then quiets down a bit by Monday. You could see the smiling faces and general gawking from those in cars, across the causeway and up the island.

I picked up the meat, hopped back on the scoot, back across the causeway, across the bridge to our island, then home. I gave the scoot a pat on the seat when I put it away. There will be some fun riding ahead, but not for a while.
